From the moment I laid eyes on Hotel Peter and Paul – I knew it was where I wanted to get married. I was looking for a venue space that was unique and had character – and I found exactly that. I loved the “flip”, which is a very WOW moment for guests as the team turns the ceremony space into the reception space. Working with Bacchanal for catering was also an incredible experience – our guests were highly complimentary of the food and beverages! Besides the actual venue/event, the hotel is lovely and the entire team working here is outstanding. Truly 10/10 experience that I wish I could relive over and over again! Highly recommend Hotel Peter and Paul for any and all events!

kind, helpful, and professional. The hotel is clean and quiet, not attributes that New Orleans hotels are known for! The location is also excellent. They are steps away from exciting music venues, restaurants, and stores. The Marigny neighborhood is absolutely picturesque. The perfect place to get married!

on to the reception in the adjoining hotel spaces was seamless. The staff's attention to detail and personalized service made us feel like cherished guests and their preferred caterer, Bacchannal Wine, provided THE most delicious spread that our friends and family are still raving about. The picturesque setting, combined with the team's dedication, created the perfect backdrop for our special day. If you're dreaming of a romantic and historic New Orleans wedding, the Church at Hotel Peter and Paul is an exceptional choice!

om Frenchman Street and many of our guests chose to stay at Hotel Peter and Paul during their time in New Orleans. McKensie and team at Hotel Peter and Paul were great to work with (answering all of my MANY questions)! We were able to get a complimentary 10 room block and it was so fun running into our guests throughout the hotel/on Frenchman Street. Selecting Peter and Paul as our venue really set the entire tone for the rest of our wedding. My now husband and I booked the School House Grand Loft and the Mother Superior rooms as our get ready rooms and both were stunning. Please note that each hotel room is unique (with some larger than others and the color theme dependent on which floor the room is on). I would recommend confirming with McKensie before arriving which rooms you have booked for your get ready rooms to make sure you get one that is set up best for getting ready. Both of our room were absolutely beautiful and comfortable!

tail hour was the perfect setting while the ceremony space was transformed to the reception. The team, from McKensie at P&P to Lindsey with Bacchanal catering, was incredibly meticulous and so easy to work with. My guests LOVED staying at the hotel and it was so nice to take transportation issues out of the day of planning - we were all right there! You will not be disappointed and I’m still reliving the experience through the beautiful photos we have in this space.

ving our guests all stay at the hotel made it so special to have everyone close and on the grounds for the big day. McKensie with the wedding planning, managing rooms, and coordinating accommodations was thorough and professional. Shoutout to the front desk: Jamal had the best attitude and was very hospitable during our stay. Zach was the most helpful bellman upon arrival. The entire team provided excellent service. The Rector's Repose and Mother Superior were such lovely, quiet and calming rooms to book.

Natalie. She was very uninterested in showing us the site and made us feel we were a bother. She listed off a bunch of rules and didn’t provide much information other than that. It was clear to us that the unprofessionalism we saw would effect our wedding day. We were 100% set on this venue until that experience, she unfortunately talked us out of having our wedding here. I’d like to mention the other staff we encountered were very kind.

Hotel Peter & Paul is one of the most special places that I have ever been to, and I could not recommend it more highly for a wedding, a special event, or hotel stay.
The space i...
tself is thoughtfully designed and historic. The buildings are original, each piece of furniture carefully chosen, each space is well-curated. The hotel is both beautiful and comfortable, it strikes an amazing balance of being both peaceful and luxurious. We didn't feel the need to add any additional florals or decor for our event, the space itself was enough.
My husband and I first booked this hotel for our wedding reception sight unseen (we were wedding planning from NYC), and then we worked with the HPP team to re-book our wedding due to the pandemic. The HPP team is so easy to work with, flexible, creative, supportive, and personable. We planned a wedding together during the most uncertain of times and the team came to us with solutions on how to make things work given the complex and changing restrictions at the time. They were good to us while maintaining their own professional and safety standards. They were extremely detailed and attentive to ours/our guests' needs. It was not an easy time to be planning a wedding, but it was a joy to work with them throughout.
Needless to say we were able to have the perfect wedding, during a pandemic, and felt we didn't have to sacrifice a thing because HPP was there for us. Thank you so much HPP for existing!

We first fell in love with this venue when it was an abandoned church, rectory, and school, many years before we left New Orleans for CA, and long before its new life as Hotel Pete...
r and Paul. When we returned to Louisiana in May of 2018 for wedding planning and the site visit, we had no idea how stunning the renovated cathedral would be. The wall’s beautiful patina had been maintained, original stained-glass windows carefully preserved, and subtle updates added convenient amenities to the historical space. We knew it would not need decorating to make our wedding unique.
New Orleans is an amazing city on its own, rich in music, food culture, and an overwhelming sense of raw authenticity. Add to that the Marigny neighborhood, then its beacon – HPP’s bell tower, its open piazza, and connecting hotel. It did not take much convincing for 75 guests to travel from within the US and overseas for our destination wedding. HPP’s room block offered a wide range of styles and rates, so much that our guests raved about the rooms’ unique designs – “not the typical hotel,” “more like a French chateau.” Being the first wedding at the venue, we were nervous about their staff and overall service experience, but WOW! From check-in to event staff to security coordination, the ease with which they worked attentively and professionally without seeming stressed made everything flow seamlessly, and everyone relaxed throughout the weekend.
The Rectory’s Repose and Rectory Classic were the perfect rooms to get dressed in - close to each other but separate, close to our guests and the ceremony venue while having our own space.
We chose the cathedral steps with the grand doors and red brick façade as the backdrop for our ceremony, with sixty chairs on the sidewalk for guests and standing room in the street parking spaces beyond. The decision seemed strange to some, but the gritty, pretty sights and sounds of the neighborhood contrasting the moment’s tranquil beauty was heavenly. Besides, everything happens on the streets in New Orleans. We are still very appreciative of Nathalie’s flexibility to make that happen.
Elysian Bar, the onsite caterer, hosted our cocktail hour in the piazza before guests entered the cathedral for dinner and dancing. The ambiance inside as the sun set was exquisite. Besides up lights to highlight the alcove in the previous alters space, the 20+ft. ceilings provided ample room for our only décor - 6ft. battery-powered, pre-lit, silver tinsel Christmas tree centerpieces on each table. The combination of the building’s lowered ambient light, the glow at each table, and exterior light beaming through the stained-glass windows illuminated the room perfectly and felt magical.
We would do it all again in a heartbeat.

Hotel Peter & Paul is an absolute GEM!!! The moment I saw the venue I knew that is would be the perfect place to get married, and I was not wrong! The atmosphere feels so romantic...
and it really made our wedding such a special experience for all of our guests. The space is so gorgeous that we really did not need to worry about decorating since Peter & Paul is charming and stylish on its own. The on location hotel was a major plus for our out of town guests. It looks just like the photos on their website, but even better to experience in person.
Nathalie is the absolute best and was very patient and helpful navigating the planning process with us. Our venue selection was hands down my favorite part of our wedding celebration. 10/10 would do it again.
